Converting ISO 8601 Dates to Unix Epoch
ISO 8601 is the international standard for representing dates and times: 2023-11-14T22:13:20Z. When working with databases, APIs, and JWT tokens, you often need to convert ISO date strings to Unix timestamps. The formula: Math.floor(new Date('2023-11-14T22:13:20Z').getTime() / 1000) gives 1700000000. Our converter handles any valid ISO 8601 string with or without timezone offsets, outputting both seconds and milliseconds.
